About the game
From Atlas Games website - Epic Dungeoneer: Call of the Lich Lord The dark god of death and magic has raised his most faithful servant -- the Lich Lord -- back to undeath! Heroes who survived the Tomb of the Lich Lord have been called back, along with daring new allies, to destroy the Lich Lord forever. But his new crypt is more dangerous, his minions more powerful, and the Lich Lord himself more terrible now that he possesses the dark god's sinister gift -- the Scepter of the Shadow Plague. Call of the Lich Lord is a two- to four-player Dungeoneer card game. Your character explores a dungeon that you build with map cards, while fighting monsters, completing quests, and leveling up along the way. Each Dungeoneer set can be played as a stand-alone card game, or combined with other decks for more dungeon-delving fun. Call of the Lich Lord is the first Epic set for Dungeoneer, which lets you advance your favorite heroes from previous sets to higher levels, or play just with the new characters from this set who begin at 4th level! Call of the Lich Lord features 110 Dungeoneer cards, including Epic-level undead-themed monsters and six Epic-level heroes for your Dungeoneer game. 2-4 players, 20-30 minutes per player, ages 12 and up. 6-sided dice and tokens not included. May be used to expand Dungeoneer: Tomb of the Lich Lord Part of the Dungeoneer Series.
